The Warhawks (4-4, 2-1) didn’t disappoint their homecoming crowd as they cruised to a 38-10 victory over Georgia State University (0-8, 0-3).

Senior quarterback Kolton Browning, who at one time this season was thought to be lost for the year due to a lower body injury, returned to the gridiron with a vengeance Saturday night. On just his second drive of the game he threw a 4-yard touchdown to Tony Cook.

“I felt like earlier in the year I was playing maybe a little bit uptight and we weren’t able to have fun,” said Browning. “Tonight everybody kind of let loose and was ready to play and we took advantage of what the defense was doing and did a great job of it.”

Browning finished the night 21-30, 224 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran 11 times for 72 yards.

Centarius Donald carried the majority of the load for the Warhawks on the ground. He totaled 126 yards on only eight carries and scored a touchdown. His longest rush of the game, 69 yards, came early in the first quarter.

“Centarius obviously made his presence felt here this evening. I’m not surprised by that,” said head coach Todd Berry.

The defense impressed for the second straight week. Middle linebacker Hunter Kissinger led the way for his squad. He found himself in the right place at the right time and cashed in with two interceptions. Kissinger also forced a fumble at the goal line on the final play of the first half.

“When you keep offenses out of the end zone, you win games and that’s what’s most important,” said Kissinger.

This was the team’s second Sun Belt Conference win and brought them to .500.

The Warhawks play Troy in a conference matchup this Thursday on the road. The Halloween game will begin at 6:32 p.m. and will air nationally on ESPNU.
